This Smooth Billed Ani may not win any beauty contests but it is still a very interesting bird, especially if you can get a close up view of the bill. These guys live primarily in savannahs in Central and South America and southern Florida.
Like other anis, the Smooth-billed Ani lives in small groups of one to five breeding pairs, and up to seventeen individuals. They defend a single territory and lay their eggs in one communal nest. All group members incubate the eggs and care for the young.

Telephone operators, often known as “Gannon’s girls” for leader Mary Gannon, are shown during a strike meeting at Turner’s Arena circa 1945.
Gannon served as national chair of the National Federation of Telephone Workers and was an early advocate of equal pay for women. Gannon was outraged to find that the highest pay for a woman clerk was lower than the starting pay for a man doing substantially the same job.
Gannon was one of probably two woman leading a major local union in Washington during that period (Margaret Gilmore at the Bureau of Engraving was another). While the laundry workers and cafeteria workers unions were composed primarily of women, they were led by men.
Gannon led a one-day sympathy strike during World War II that disrupted communications across the country, including cutting off long distance service into the White House. It was centered around the issue of the giant “Ma Bell” importing workers at a higher pay rate than local operators in Dayton, Ohio. At least five other cities joined the walkout.
Gannon would lead the union on strike for eight days in 1946, calling for “an eight-day continuous meeting.” That strike centered on “sweatshop practices” like rules that read, “Do not change your headset from one ear to the other without calling a supervisor,” and “Don’t take an aspirin without being relieved from your position.”
The NFTW was an independent union composed of autonomous locals.
Eleanor Jane Palmer, the secretary-treasurer of the local union at the time recalled later how Gannon worked to aid telephone workers around the country and begin to form the basis for a true national union:
“Whenever anybody in the country was out! [on strike] I remember at one time in St. Louis the traffic girls were trying to get some air conditioning put in, and the only thing the company would offer were the tubs of ice. You’ve heard about them. In order to get some satisfaction on their grievance, they could have had a work stoppage, but they weren’t in the prime position where they were really disturbing the country or upsetting the country. So what they did was call to Washington and ask our president if she could give them some help.”
In 1946 the NFTW cobbled together 17 local unions with expired contracts (many had been on day-to-day extensions) and called a nationwide strike. AT&T settled before the strike began and the union gained the first national agreement in the telephone industry..
The following year, AT&T forced the NFTW into a strike. AT&T refused to negotiate a nationwide agreement and only offered a wage increase after workers had been on strike for three weeks. Four weeks into the strike, 17 contracts had been signed. The nationwide strike collapsed and it marked the end of the NFTW.
However, the local operators continued their strike until May 18, 1947, holding out for written guarantees that there would be no reprisals. With the operators ready to go back to work, Gannon led the operators to refuse to cross the picket lines of Western Electric workers until that unit settled later that day.
In June 1947, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) was formed as a national union with a stronger national structure, incorporating most of the locals of the NFTW.
Gannon led the local operators union from the time it was a company union in 1935 through militant strikes in the 1940s and up until 1950--after the Communications Workers of America was formed.
She led approximately 200 strikes—most for an hour or two—during her career, Many of the strikes were sympathy strikes helping other telephone unions around the country and helping to lay the basis for a national union.
She was in the late stages of pregnancy with her son Tommy during the six-week 1947 strike, and put in the long hours and picket duty required of a union leader. Her son was born shortly after the strike collapsed.
Gannon said of her decision to resign at age 38 in 1950, “I was torn between two children, for I feel like the union was my child too. But in the end I felt like I must give more attention to Tommy.”
During her tenure, the telephone operators were often known as “Gannon’s girls” by local news reporters.

The body of slain D.C. Transit bus operator John Earl Talley is carried out of the Ager Road Methodist Church in Hyattsville, Maryland May 20, 1968
Talley was slain in the early morning hours of May 17th when four teens boarded his G-2 bus at 20th and P Streets NW. Moments Talley lay mortally wounded after he was shot twice in the head.
Over 200 operators came to the funeral while working operators kept their headlights on and halted their buses for 60-90 seconds at 10 a.m.—the hour of Talley’s service. Talley was buried at the National Memorial Park in Falls Church, Va.
The killing rocked the city as DC Transit workers began unauthorized strikes ultimately refusing to carry change at night protesting an epidemic of robberies and Talley’s death.
At the time, bus operators carried change for bills and many were holding hundreds of dollars at any given time during their routes.
The protests, along with a similar killing of a bus operator in Baltimore, resulted in an agreement to implement the first exact fare system in the country that was quickly followed by major transit systems throughout the United States.
Talley, known to carry an unauthorized gun to protect him, evidently pulled his weapon as the young men tried to rob him. Talley’s gun was found unfired beside his dying body.
The four youths were quickly arrested. All ended up pleading guilty to robbery in return for dropping the murder charge. Three received probation while the 17-year-old charged with the actual shooting was held until his 18th birthday.
Bus operators at the Bladensburg garage where Talley worked staged a two-hour wildcat in the early morning hours of May 17th that was ended when Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 officials called for a union meeting.
A number of union meetings followed with a strike motion defeated by a narrow vote at a May 23rd meeting. However the union members voted to refuse to work at night for 10 days and the pay the operators who didn’t work their regular salaries in an attempt to settle the issue before calling a full-fledged strike.
The action prompted city officials, religious leaders, the D.C. Transit Company and the union to reach an agreement June 3, 1968 to require exact change with paper script being issued in place of change. Bus token sales outlets were increased dramatically and the plan that company officials said would never work took hold with an accepting public.
